6 Enhancing Revenues Requires Changes in Thinking Single Claims Processing vs Aggregated APC Analysis System Operationalizing APCs Ongoing APC Monitoring & Compliance
7 Enhancing Revenues Requires Changes in Thinking Linear to Curvilinear Department to System Singular to Multiple Qualitative Analysis to Quantitative Analysis
8 Enhancing Revenues Requires Changes in Thinking Linear to Curvilinear Linear thinking one service = one payment vs. Curvilinear thinking one service at times = one payment at other times = no payment
9 Enhancing Revenues Requires Changes in Thinking Linear to Curvilinear Multiple Procedure Discounting Packaging
10 Enhancing Revenues Requires Changes in Thinking Department to system Multiple procedures performed in various departments Single claim

12 Revenue Enhancement Requires Changes in Thinking Singular to multiple Single APC per visit Multiple APC per visit
13 Inpatient Treatment Outpatient Treatment XRAY Lab XRAY EKG EKG Lab DRG Coding APC s Coding DRG Payment Reimbursement APC XRAY EKG APC Lab Reimbursement APC
14 Qualitative/Single vs. Quantitative/Universe of Claims Single Examines one hospital visit Identifies single error Originally designed for DRGs Universe Examine ALL hospital visits Identify errors Identify APC winners & losers Identify APCs producing most revenue Track OIG s APC alerts
15 Analyzing Operationalizing APC Analyses Winners Losers Case Mix Procedure Department Provider 80/20 Rule Lab Radiology Cardiac Lab ED Supplies Procedures Procedure Vs. Cost Fixed Variable Semivariable Semifixed Irregular Procedure Vs. Actual Billed Super bill Training Communication Audit Clean Billing

21 Value Outpatient Case Mix Standard that can be applied to all hospitals Compare multiple hospitals in levels of services provided Measure APC accountability over time Track patient acuity over time Revenue projections based on case mix
22 Revenue Enhancement APC Index APC Index is designed to provide feedback on the average number of APCs per Visit Hospital APC Description A B 0612 ER High level
23 Revenue Enhancement APC Index Lower APC Index can be the result of: Missed Charges Not coded Not billed Arrive after bill is dropped Charges scrubbed off by encoder Incorrect or missing service units in field 46 on the UB 92
24 Initial Steps to Understand Reimbursement Identify APC winners and losers Identify impact of winners and losers Identify claims that need to be resubmitted due to CMS policy changes
